How many of the following molecules are with non-zero net dipole moment,

NH3 ,HCl, H2O , BeF2, BH3, CCl4

Solution

Among the given molecules BeF2, CCl4 and BH3 has zero dipole moment. BeF2 has linear structure and BH3 has symmetrical trigonal planar structure and CCl4 also has symmetrical tetrahedral structure.  

NH3 ,HCl, H2O have non-symmetrical structure.

Hence, their net dipole moment is not zero
